The Collection Formula- for you
I have to give credit where credit is due! I was reading through the Parelli mastery manuals and they have what they call the "Collection formula"; it sounded great and made perfect sense! I was so excited to finally see and understand the whole picture! I am starting...
the Law of Attraction
Well I seem to have a minor problem... I can't catch my horse. So instantly I referred to my Parelli references, the success series DVD's and my mastery manuals. So the natural attraction and the concept of building rapport seem to be the keys to my success, and seem...
Acceptance is being neutral
Have you ever noticed we live in a very judgmental world? I love this! I hate that! Fat, skinny, cool, nerdy, 'in style', 'outta style', beautiful, ugly, smart, dumb, and the list goes on and on. A lot of people think this way and in turn are being very judgmental on...
Good Intentions
Horses are so perceptive. They can read your intentions. They know if you have come to them with a purpose or just come to hang out. "Undemanding time" is great for building a great relationship, but it definitely does not fool them when it comes down to any time with...
Easier said than done…
So I have been reading through my new Parelli Mastery Manuals, and I am learning a lot about the important concepts of balance, leadership, respect, confidence, trust, etc etc. It all sounds so simple on paper! Just be like this, do this, and the horse will respond...
Love, Language and Leadership
In my last post I had so many thoughts about how to become a better person, in ourselves, with our relationships, and in our lives. I talked about how learning to becoming a leader for horses helps us become and learn to be better parents and people. I had so many...
Horses are just like kids
No I don't have kids, but I have always said, "If I can effectively teach a horse (or dog) I believe I will be ready to raise a child." And its been my mission ever since. Well, once I found Parelli Natural Horsemanship its confirmed everything I believed. Within...
Own the responsibility
"I believe that a horse (or any animal) is only as good as it's rider or handler." A quote I read recently that I've used more than once myself. Lately I have been horse shopping and I have looked at a lot of different horses online, in ads, and last weekend I even...
Attitude- the difference that makes the difference
We all know 'those people'- the ones we can't stand. Well horses have 'those people' too. Maybe they are too negative, maybe they are too pushy, maybe they are too controlling, maybe they are too quiet, maybe they are too slow, maybe they just aren't like you... it's...
The Parelli Seven Keys to Success
There are 7 things Pat Parelli identifies as being the keys to success. These 7 ideas are not solely for horsemanship, they will work for anything you want to apply them too. They are the recipe that creates success in anything you do. Lately I have been pondering...
Giving Thanks
There are a lot of inspirational words out there, but today my mind shares the words, "Remember the past, embrace the future, but live in the present." Enjoy your here and now, and if I can, I'd like to encourage all of you to take a moment to give thanks for...
When we are ready- the opportunity will appear
Its hard to focus on this subject, because my mind is wandering to all these thoughts, examples, and times I've read or heard this topic spoken about. But its SO TRUE. It is the truth, when you are ready you will open doors to opportunities, maybe all at once or one...
Mastering Respect
Mastering respect is not something I know about, but something I'm on a mission to learn. It is SO important. It is the first and foremost thing you have to do. Right along with gaining the friendship and confidence of your horse (or also any relationship: human,...
Updated…
Just to give an explanation for what is going on here on my blog... I am revamping my blog pages as you can see. I have a new format, new topics and just more ROXI-NESS. I have included more categories with writing and photos and horsemanship goodness. I just think...
Your Horse Can Read Your Mind
It's true. Your horse is a psychic. It knows your intentions, it knows your expectations, it knows your emotions, and it knows your trust, leadership and respect. Your horse is your window to yourself. Your horse is your truth. This is the reason why you need to be...
Mental, Emotional, and Physical Collection
I know this is jumping ahead- alot- but sometimes we need to know where we are going in order to get there. I've had this topic on my mind for a few days now because, as I try to complete my level 3 test under the Equine Canada Rider Levels, level four moves onto...
Most people think like people…
This seems like an obvious statement, but its true. I've heard it said before, but never really understood what it meant. "To be a good horseman, you have to think like a horse." But most people think like humans. You have to do as horses do to gain their trust and...
Acceptance: Yes, I’m a Right-Brain Extrovert
That's right I'm a Right-Brained Extrovert and PROUD OF IT! I've always known who I was and I am starting to understand more and more about my "personality", but now how do I use that information for the good? How do I go from being 'that' person to becoming the...
Goodbye, July

Old habits die hard
Lesson one: Old Habits Die HARD! But it will be consistency and determination that prevail. We all have had these experiences. We all have tried to change how we do things, or how we think of things. New Years resolutions are an excellent example, trying to live...
Parelli-fied: my journey in never ending self-improvement
My new blog is going to be all about my Parelli journey. Not just because Parelli is about horsemanship, and I am working extremely hard to obtain my coaching status, but its about self improvement. It's about knowing yourself and seeing the TRUTH that the horse...

PHOTO OVERLOAD!
Photo overload! I'm swamped with photos and have to upload more than 100 pictures from April, May, June, and July! But I think I have a new blog topic? And I think I will categorize my blogs for easier access into different topics; horse training, dog training, photos...
Happy Anniversary!
I'm only 5 days late! It was my birthday last year when I started my photo blog! So I think I will start a new concept for this year! But what? I'll think on it! But I'd like to still update on my photo blog or I won't have a year's worth of pictures! Only I am not...
Just Another Day in Paradise
Well I tried to upload pictures from my phone but that didn't go over well. Its more complicated than I think. Or I'm over complicating it and its not working. Really its just a case of pushing the wrong buttons... Isn't that always the case? So here's my blog for...
Spring has sprung!
Finally spring has sprung. Seeding is in full swing, calves are healthy and on the ground, and the flowers are planted. I'm not sure if I more enjoy watching the perennials bloom each year or seeding new bulbs and seeds (and impatiently waiting for them to germinate...
April fools
No I did not get tricked on april fools day. Rather tricks on me. I have no internet to post photos with at the moment. So I will update as soon as I can but until then I'll be snapping random pictures of things to try and stay caught up this spring. But I have...
